Robocall Help · Pennsylvania

Robocall Lawyer in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania backs up the federal robocall rules with its own Telemarketer Registration Act, which forces telemarketers to register with the state and honor your do-not-call wishes. If your phone keeps ringing with robocalls, you may be owed money. This is Max’s home state. If illegal calls or texts are hitting your phone in Pennsylvania, you may be owed $500 to $1,500 per call.

Two laws protect Pennsylvania residents

A federal law covers everyone — and Pennsylvania’s own rules can add to it.

Federal law

The TCPA

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.

  • Protects everyone in Pennsylvania, no matter the state rules.
  • Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
  • $500–$1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
  • You can sue personally — you don’t wait on the government.
Pennsylvania law

Pennsylvania Telemarketer Registration Act (73 P.S. §§ 2241 to 2249)

How Pennsylvania adds to your protection.

  • Calling hours: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m..
  • Do Not Call: Uses the national registry.
  • Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.

How the law works in Pennsylvania

The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) protects everyone in Pennsylvania. The TCPA is the national law that makes it illegal for companies to robocall, robotext, or auto-dial your cell phone, or to call any number on the Do Not Call list, without your written permission. When a company breaks that rule, the law lets you collect $500 per illegal call or text, and up to $1,500 per call if the violation was willful. Those amounts stack: every separate call or text is its own violation, so a few weeks of robocalls can add up fast.

Pennsylvania layers its own protection on top. Under the Pennsylvania Telemarketer Registration Act (73 P.S. §§ 2241 to 2249), telemarketers must register with the Pennsylvania Attorney General, may only call you between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., cannot call on legal holidays, and must immediately honor your request to be taken off their list. Pennsylvania does not run a separate state registry. Numbers you put on the national Do Not Call Registry are recognized here, and the Attorney General can seek civil penalties of up to $1,000 per call (up to $3,000 when the victim is 60 or older) on top of your own private claim.

Pennsylvania robocall FAQs

Can I sue for robocalls in Pennsylvania?

Yes. The federal TCPA lets Pennsylvania residents sue for $500 to $1,500 per illegal robocall, robotext, or auto-dialed call to a cell phone, and per call to any number on the Do Not Call Registry. Pennsylvania’s Telemarketer Registration Act adds further protections enforced by the state Attorney General. Save your call logs and any voicemails. They are your evidence.

Does Pennsylvania have its own robocall law?

Yes. The Pennsylvania Telemarketer Registration Act (73 P.S. §§ 2241 to 2249) requires telemarketers to register with the Attorney General, limits calling to 8 a.m. through 9 p.m., bars calls on legal holidays, and requires companies to honor your do-not-call request right away. The Attorney General can pursue violators, and you can also bring your own claim under the federal TCPA.

What are Pennsylvania’s calling hours?

Telemarketers may only call Pennsylvania consumers between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., and not at all on legal holidays. A sales call placed before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. violates state law, and that same call may also break the federal TCPA, which can mean money in your pocket.

Do I need a Pennsylvania lawyer for a robocall case?

Max Morgan is licensed in Pennsylvania, so Pennsylvania residents have a local, licensed attorney from the start. The TCPA is a federal law that he uses nationwide, but here at home he handles your case directly. Your review is free, and there is no fee unless you recover.
